4 OFHG Replacements in 1 month

MAKH 5 · 03-23-2020, 01:50 PM

Initially caught the leak randomly as the car was reaching 30k and fortunately still under warranty. BMW has replaced the lines, housing, and gaskets. Oil filter and oil cooler. Now going in for a fourth time. After the first repair, its no longer leaking but seeping out slowly. I can wipe it clean, go for a drive, and it comes right back.

Has anyone had experience with this? Maybe a sign of something worse?

The car is FBO Stage 2 AGG BM3 fyi
2015 F30 N55

IIRC Dealer work is warranted for two years. Bring it back and demand that a Master Tech perform the work.

Thanks for that info. Good to know its covered for two years as my warranty ends today.

Just dropped the car off at BMW and from what I was told a master tech is working on it.
